This chapter describes how to use the dmu utility to manage Dataless
Management Services (DMS) environments and clients. The information in
this chapter includes the following topics:
• Locating and interpreting the DMS client database file (Section 12.1)
• Adding a client to a DMS environment (Section 12.2)
• Booting a DMS client (Section 12.3)
• Deleting a DMS environment (Section 12.4)
• Modifying a DMS client (Section 12.5)
• Removing a DMS client (Section 12.6)
• Listing registered DMS clients (Section 12.7)
• Showing software environments in the server’s DMS area (Section 12.8)
• Maintaining the server’s DMS areas (Section 12.9)
12.1 DMS Client Database File
The DMS client database is located in the /var/adm/dms/clients/dmsdb
file. Entries in this file are similar to the following:
client1:xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx:/var/adm/dms/dms0.alpha:/clients/client1:
rz0b:RZ26:None:ln0:255.255.255.0
In this example:
• client1 is the client’s host name
• xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx is the client’s hardware network address
• /var/adm/dms/dms0.alpha is the DMS environment being served
to the client
• /clients/client1 is the location of the client’s root area
• rz0b is the client’s swap device and partition
• RZ26 is the swap disk
• None specifies the client has no kernel build area
• ln0 is the network interface type
• 255.255.255.0 is the network subnet mask
